202 , jams and innovation....

So, this week the 202 loop in Phoenix has been a pleasure to be on.......Reaching home in 20 mins. During peak hour w/out hearing the same cd 2 times over.....BLISS!!!:-)
Ask anyone about the agony of trying to reach Tempe through the Loop 202 East and worse - t he connection between Az 51 and 202 - which is but a spindly arm swooping out into the sky and back into chaos.......
On regular days of peak hour traffic - its hell to reach that arm, but if you land up on it at night, its pleasure abound to be on it, where u feel at peace with the sky, planes, and city lights all around. .........before crashing back to reality...
But this week funnily - innovation struck ...........and the remedy to all 202 jams seemed to be a speed monitor .....or regulator. It struck me in an instant that the various speeds of various cars was the mail culprit and cause of jams.........so tadaaaaaaaaa - what if..what if only at that stretch all vehicles were regulated to a standard speed - voila - problemo solved.........is it remotely possible? is it morally right? is it a sign of technology and third parties controlling our lives...........is it fair to lose our pleasure of driving (even the automated cars), which many of us value?

ah well innovation just got stricken by practicality - but am sure some ingenious mind out there is figuring it all out ...........and waiting to charm the world .........

Welcome to the world of transportation .......
